As we've done for the past two years, we went with yet another group theme for the kids' Halloween costumes. I swear I'm going to do this until they are too old to let me get away with it! I love it! Going with a group theme just makes the whole process so much simpler.
This year they were all super heroes. Even with a theme, they all chose their individual costumes. The past two years, I was able to make most of the costumes handmade, but this year I just couldn't swing it. But I'm certainly not disappointed.
Boy Twin, the little Web Slinger, in action.
Super Twins! Sis is "Miss America," who we found out was a comic character in the early '40's. Her super power was levitation, which is pretty cool.
Edit: Husband has informed me that I got it wrong on Girl Twin's costume. She is, in fact, "American Dream," who is the daughter of Captain America. Her powers are super strength and a proficiency in martial arts. In my defense, I did look at a "Miss America" costume for her, and it was eerily similar. There.

And, of course, our Wonder Woman! She was working it, for sure.
I had to work at Malloween on Halloween, so I made sure that Grammy could come help dad out to get all the monkeys dressed and ready to go. Since it was cold and rainy, they went to dinner in costume, then headed up to the mall to get some loot there. Thankfully, they weren't too worried about getting a lot of candy...they were just happy to wear their costumes.
Here are some memories from Halloween 2011 and 2012. And yes, I already have a theme picked for next year, so get ready!
Seriously, this is the best photo I got from 2011.
Halloween 2012 rocked! My favorite so far.
I had so much fun with them! Thanks for including me. I also think that last year's theme is my favorite so far. Happy to know that your house is protected by Superheroes for the next year. Can't wait for our next one.
